Yay another unenforcible law
GnomeAndGarden
The HOUSE has passed it. Odds it never gets a vote in the Senate?
DamnedAustin
It passed the House, and will *likely* pass the Senate, but it better pass with a veto-proof majority. Trump is a China shill when it (1)
DamnedAustin
comes to Hong Kong. He doesn't care about human rights, he only cares about his bullshit trade war. (2/2)

We should air drop crates of AR-15's and missile launchers, so they can fight their revolution. We want to be on the "right side of history"
CheeseWheelJuggler
Sure, piss off the world's largest army, that's gonna end well.
HighFlyKai
Violence really isn’t the answer here. China could raze the entirety of Hong Kong overnight if they wanted to.
flarflarf
yes, lets start a war with China, what a great idea, you're so smart.
chancer888
So this could cause a war? If China does anything in HK that violates this US Law then the US will invade HK to protect China?
CheeseWheelJuggler
There is absolutely no chance the US would go to war with China, if that happened the entire world loses.
chancer888
That’s what I mean. This is posturing by the US?
CheeseWheelJuggler
(late reply, yay sleep) At the moment, yes, though if passed there will at least be a ban on selling tear gas, rub. bullets to the PRC.
chancer888
Oh ok. I’m sure PRC will start to make their own copies let’s see how this plays out. No one really wants war - do they?!
DudeThatsRacist
Gadammit, the GOP Is backing HK. As a lefty, I don't fucking know what to do.
IcouldntfindmymedsthismorningsoItookyours
You can still support HK. Just not for the same reasons the GOP does.
JarJarDrinks
Get back to us when the GOP Senate takes action. If at all....
thatstomorrowsproblem
As a lefty you legally can’t support anything the GOP does, so your kinda stuck supporting communist suppression of HK. Enjoy!

GOP might be comical degrees of corruption but they do at least draw the line at running over thousands of innocent people with tanks.
MrSpookywasagoodboy2
Unless we're the ones doing it
DudeThatsRacist
I think SOME of it is genuine but mostly I think it's that China is the bad guy so these protests are ok.
navagon
It does shift some attention away from diabolical betrayals in Syria, I suppose.

"we're not the worlds police" ?
TheEvenPrez
We look after our interests, fucking over fascists is one of our interests
skwint
Have you looked in a mirror recently?
flarflarf
i think trade sanctions are fine
skwint
Oh, so do I, I'm just getting irritated with all the picking and choosing going on.
